Essential Themes of Buddhist Lectures
by Sayadaw U Thittila
The contents that follow in this small publication comprise a collection of expanded notes prepared for unconnected individual talks on Buddhism given in the West by the author over the period 1938– 1983. They are not, therefore, subject matter necessarily for consecutive reading.
To give the differing teaching material and information surrounding the main themes, repetition of phraseology in respect of the themes themselves is an unavoidable feature; thus each short article is here reproduced as originally conceived and without regard to any repetition.

Gains:
don’t treat your own with scorn,
don’t go coveting those of others.
A monk who covets those of others
attains
no concentration.
Even if he gets next to nothing,
he doesn’t treat his gains with scorn.
Living purely, untiring:
he’s the one

Dying to Live
The Role of Kamma in Dying and Rebirth
By Aggacitta Bhikkhu
DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE different views and beliefs about what happens after death. Although all Buddhist Schools are unanimous that death marks the end and beginning of life for sentient beings still bound to samsàra [the round of births], not all share the same views, observations and interpretations with regard to the actual process of dying and rebirth.
Tibetan (Vajrayàna) and Chinese (Mahàyàna) Buddhists believe that after death, the spirit of the dead person passes through an intermediate period (bardo in Tibetan, zhong yin in Mandarin)—which may last for as long as forty-nine days—during which it undergoes a series of unearthly, extraordinary experiences, including a “small death” at the end of each week, before it is finally reborn into another realm of existence. In contrast, orthodox Theravada Buddhism, which is the earliest, most authentic, extant record of Gotama Buddha’s teaching, asserts that rebirth takes place immediately after death.
It may not be too naive to suggest that this difference between the schools could be more apparent than real; for if one regarded the entity in the bardo/zhong yin as another reborn being, then this doctrinal inconsistency could very well be reconciled, although Theravadins may still question the weekly “small deaths” and forty-nine day duration. But it is not within the scope of this booklet to speculate on the rationale and credibility of this belief. Rather, the purpose of this work is to present a comprehensive picture of kamma and the often unpredictable role it plays in the process of dying and rebirth according to orthodox Theravada doctrine.

A monkey and an elephant named Parileyyaka made offerings for the Buddha, the elephant bringing fruit and the monkey bringing a honeycomb. The monkey was so excited when the Buddha accepted his gift that he began leaping from tree to tree and fell to his death. However, he was immediately reborn in Tavatimsa as a result of his generosity.
On this day, the Bhikkhus of Kosambi ended the disunity in their ranks and went to the Buddha in the forest to take a vow of unity and cooperation. In his sermon, Buddha pointed to the elephant and said, "This elephant lives alone in the forest in the absence of a proper partner. If you do not get associates with wisdom and high thoughts, it is better to live alone in this world, for foolish associates will only increase your suffering."
Retold from Dhammapada 1 Pairs : Yamaka Vagga and Kd 10 : Kosambakakkhandhaka

I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying near Savatthi in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's monastery. There Ven. Sariputta addressed the monks, saying, "Friend monks!"
"Yes, friend," the monks responded.
Ven. Sariputta said: "Friends, just as the footprints of all legged animals are encompassed by the footprint of the elephant, and the elephant's footprint is reckoned the foremost among them in terms of size; in the same way, all skillful qualities are gathered under the four noble truths. Under which four? Under the noble truth of sufferings, under the noble truth of the origination of sufferings, under the noble truth of the cessation of sufferings, and under the noble truth of the path of practice leading to the cessation of sufferings.

Practice jhana, monk,
and don’t be heedless.
Don’t take your mind roaming
in sensual strands.
Don’t swallow–heedless–
the ball of iron aflame.
Don’t burn & complain: ‘This is pain.’
